[QUOTE="TheBoctor, post: 1936151, member: 107356"] Hey @[B][USER=12950]JARHEAD1371[/USER] [/B]check this dude out. [URL]https://www.youtube.com/c/ikoshkinDLO/featured[/URL] He's very knowledgeable and has reviews for most scopes out there. No nonsense, just the facts. He also has a bunch of videos that do a good job of quantifying the differences between these high end scopes and explaining a lot of the optics. To the angry guy, you have a valid point in that mechanically, a perfectly tracking scope is a perfectly tracking scope and in that regard, they cannot be X dollars better because both have perfect reticle tracking (as should everything in this price range).
